Part 6/13:
Tesla’s strategy of launching the refreshed Model Y in multiple regions simultaneously appears to be paying off. In Europe, the Model Y is now available, a significant achievement given previous regional inconsistencies. However, in Canada, the model's pricing is seeing sharp increases—between $4,000 and $9,000 depending on the trim—driven by the weakening Canadian dollar and tariffs. The Canadian price surge, effective from February 1st, is believed partly to be a move to position Tesla for upcoming lower-cost trims or models, or perhaps to offset currency and tariff challenges.
